Q

parts of the nucleus

A

chromatin inside (detangled strands from chromosomes)
around it is the nuclear envelop
along the nuclear envelop is are the nuclear pores
endoplasmic reticulum is attaches to it
and polyribosomes

Q

ribosomes

A

combined a large subunit and a small subunit to form a functional complete ribosome. ribosome aligns the mRNA with the tRNA forming a protein

Q

ER (endoplasmic reticulum)

A

helps store newly synthesize molecules (proteins)
surface are for chemical reaction
transport molecules to various parts of the cell

Q

Smooth ER

A

synthesis fatty acids, phospholipids and steroids and detoxifies various chemical. If you have to synthesis more Lipids then the smooth ER is bigger

Q

golgi apparatus ( complex)

A

receives proteins and lipids in vesicles, helps package and store them, help them in packaging them more complex

Q

Lysosomes

A
  1. )digest bacteria and other substances from phagocytosis vesicles.
  2. ) recycles membrane components from endosomes
  3. ) autophagy- digesting of old organelles
  4. ) autolysis- eating own cell host after death of the cell (disease)
  5. ) digest of debris and then fuses with membrane to expulse that out of the cell

Q

peroxisomes

A

smaller than lysosomes
contain two enzymes to help detoxify the cell from toxic substances.
they also have the ability to replicate themselves

16
Q

oxidase

A

removes hydrogen ion and forms peroxide H2O2

detoxifies substances such as phenol, formic acid formaldehyde and alcohol

17
Q

catalase

A

the breaking down of peroxide (decomposition )

18
Q

mitochondria

A

powerhouse of the cell
this is where aerobic respiration( produce of ATP)
contains own DNA and can self replicate

19
Q

aerobic respiration

A

most efficient can produce 36-38 ATP/glucose

20
Q

anaerobic respiration

A

only 2 ATp/glucose produced

21
Q

mitochondria enzymes

A

are located in the matrix and cristae

22
Q

what is the cell skeletal composed of

A
  1. ) microfilaments
  2. ) intermediate filaments
  3. ) microtubules
23
Q

microfilaments (Exterior of cell)

A

is the smallest but strong filaments made up of actin
helps with cell structure and movement (locomotion )
muscle contraction, cell division

24
Q

intermediate filaments (interior of cell)

A

filaments inside the cell,
support for organelles
intermediate in size, solid filaments made up of different proteins depending on cell type

25
Q

microtubules

A

big and hollow tubulin, originates from the centrosome of the cell (right beside the nucleus,
helps transport of material in the cytoplasm
forms flagella, cilia and centrioles

26
Q

flagella

A

tail -like, helps to move an entire cell

27
Q

cilia

A

helps move substances along the surface of the cell q

28
Q

centrioles

A

formation of microtubules,
builds mitotic spindle in cell division
centrioles involves in formation and generation of flagella and cilia

29
Q

transport protein

A

transport substances within the cell, use microtubules as pathways (roads)

30
Q

cytoplasmic inclusions

A

temporary structures, accumulated secretions or storage of cell products .material ingested by cells
examples are
triglycerides, mucin, melanin, glycogen
